Freedom Outside The Dream

 

The world is a crazy ride

And life is in the driver’s seat.

Don’t let someone else’s dreamcatcher

Turn into a web of lies

For you to get caught in.

Avoid the corners of your mind

Where these traps hide.

Enjoy the freedom

Of roaming the unexplored

Parts of your brain

Where you have options

To move in any direction.

Feel the rush of thinking for yourself

And the power that comes from

learning from your mistakes.

Fear is just a four-letter word

But life is a word that can’t be defined

And neither should you.

Life is a crazy ride, you and me know, for have faced the other side, of the ride.... (won't dig in detail, me before you, then you, then us). but you come to a point, all is relative, and happiness once woken up, and out of the coma.... you see things clear-er... than clear. Fear is just nothing more than that four letter word, as "brave" has one more letter, to guide us on.... I think you are brave my sweet friend, you never complain, you never are selfish, you are great in being an example to the world, and here on Writers Cafe, you always have been. :) Wise words on your journey, those I live highly too... thank you for sharing,

Wow thank you for the great review and wonderful compliment… not sure I am deserving but I will take it…. thank you also for sharing your deep insight.

Dale, you deserve all my words, for I know how good you are. Through thick and thin times. Good you take it from me... I'm happy. You are a fine poet too always, and I enjoyed.

And thus we were given "Freedom of choice" in order to live and learn from our mistakes. A great write.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

That is correct, and God gave us free will so we could earn our way to heaven.

Yes Dale, dream catchers are not meant to keep us from dreaming or to trap us within a dream. Poetry can be a trap of sorts or a true dream catcher. It can be a dream mirror as well... ha.
I like how you end this. No definition given, no box provided, just the openness to live and live well. My practice of living is trying to catch up with my understanding... :) Now that I am finally understanding more of how I have practiced living. (but this is another story)
I do like his topic Dale. I think it could be a topic of discussions for weeks on end. I'll stop though for now.
Thank you for sharing this wisdom.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sir… yes this is a subject that can be talked about forever or as long as there is life.

[Mel Lisa]

enlightening and encouraging words. I was truly inspired by this. thanks for sharing!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

I am glad to hear that… makes my day, though thinking of myself as inspiring is like an oxymoron :)
Thank you for the review and compliment.

"Fear is just a four-letter word

But life is a word that can’t be defined

And neither should you."~ This is a refreshing sentiment, Dale!... I truly feel this!...
There is a lot of life to live, my dear friend (something to experience everyday)...

Well penned!~xoxo~:)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much… glad you liked it, those lines you mentioned are what started the poem.

[Robbie~xoxo~]

My sentiments, exactly! Thank you for sharing your words...I'm trying to live by it right now! (it's not easy)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well life is not easy… if it was we wouldn't appreciate when we accomplish something.

[Spacecadet]

I absolutely love this piece, its something I want to live by! My favorite line will have to be "Don't let someone else's dreamcatcher turn into a web of lies for you to get caught in".
Such a beautiful and clever play on words :) I'm a fan already!

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

To be honest those are my favorite lines too… thank you for the review and compliment.

[DIVYA]

Here is a very solid and sound piece of wisdom that makes the difference between living and existing. There are lots of people in our lives who try their best to prevent us from being in the driver's seat and there's also thefour letter word that often limits us, restricts our thinking, which is sad because in giving in to them, we give up the right to charter our own course, define our own journey.

Thank you so much for this writing, full of wisdom and pure insight.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

So True… especially loved ones think they are helping by holding us back but they are not. Thank you for the review.

[DIVYA]

The pleasure is always mine :)

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

So full of wisdom. I can't pick my fave line...I like them all.

No one really knows about what will happen in the future...that is the mystery of life. But as what they say, you are the driver of your own life...so it depends also to the choices you make. I still believe that we can make our own choice...but God will allow everything to happen if He want them to happen.

Thank you for sharing this.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

No doubt the mystery of life and what is to come is what makes life interesting and yet aggravating at the same time. Thank you for the review.

[Daisie Vergara (Dhaye)]

You're welcome.

[Erotic Goddess]

Enjoy the freedom
Of roaming the unexplored
Parts of your brain
Where you have options
To move in any direction.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you so much… how wonderful to have you back and hearing your thoughts on my work.

[Corset]

wonderfully inspirational write, life IS a crazy ride, and it sounds like great advice, knowing how to avoid those corners seem to be the real trick in life.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Ahhhh yes but life is tricky…. guess that is what keeps it interesting. Thank you for the review.

[Corset]
